Third Coast Sunday Launch Party: Celebrating Progressive Politics and Radical Roots

Across the country and around the world, people are rejecting old systems of concentrated wealth and power, and calling for a more just and sustainable world. This radical spirit has created new connections and reinvigorated groups that have long been fighting for progressive social change. That same energy is pulsing through Austin, opening up new opportunities for collaboration on analysis and action.

In this spirit, a group of young activists is launching a monthly gathering for progressive people interested both in critiquing the old order and creating a new world. What needs to be tore down, and what needs to be built up? This monthly gathering will be a place to share ideas, build connections, and find opportunities for action -- both for those new to political organizing and those who’ve been in the fight for decades.

The first gathering will provide an opportunity for folks to get to know each other. After a short program with speakers from a variety of groups, there will be plenty of time for informal conversation while enjoying locally brewed beer from Black Star Co-op, Via 313 pizza, and the always popular vegan donuts from Red Rabbit Bakery.

Music will be provided by local jazz musicians Alec MacIntyre & Friends.

Admission is free, with donations accepted to help with the costs of food.

Location: 5604 Manor, 5604 Manor Road, Austin, 78723 - 5604manor.org
